Secondsguru - The travelling exhibition
At the Jurong Regional Library

9 Bootcamps
120+ collaborations
210+ participants
190,000+ reach

The Zero Waste Bootcamp – the flagship community outreach programme by Secondsguru – has been steadily widening its impact since its inception in 2019. And starting 2020, we have ensured that the work by youth volunteers continues to inspire via the Travelling Exhibition.

The Travelling Exhibition is a poster exhibition which showcases youth projects with a dual goal of environmental and social sustainability executed under the 12-week Zero Waste Bootcamp. After the wrap up of each bootcamp, the journey of each team – including impact and achievements – is converted into an artistic poster and exhibited at various public spaces in Singapore.

Why an Art Exhibition?

1. Each project was crafted and executed carefully by the respective team as deftly as an artist creates a piece of art.

2. Sharing real examples by real people is an impactful way to get more to join the environment and social sustainability movements.

Between May 2021 to May 2024, the exhibition ‘travelled’ 19 times, covering 9 public libraries, a local school,  as well as 3 public spaces (NUS Central Library, Sustainable Singapore Gallery and the Science Centre). Several venues earned a revisit and the exhibits have connected with a myriad audience in the process.

The Zero Waste Bootcamp Journey!

Since 2019, Secondsguru has conducted 9 Zero Waste Bootcamps thus far. Our cohorts have included working professionals as well as college students. In all, over 210 participants enrolled in the past 9 bootcamps, joining/ organising 85+ community events, and forging 120+ collaborations with a range of partners, sparking a cascading impact as they generated nearly 190K touch points through online and in-person outreach. A broad scope of zero waste issues have been addressed in previous iterations of the ZWB, ranging from food waste to over-consumption of disposables to unsustainable fashion and so forth..
